However, as players get older and hitters become more powerful, having quality outfielders becomes more and more important. The outfield should be a place of focus so that your last line of defense is equipped for battle. But how can we get our outfielders better? What should we have them focus on during pop fly drills?

Offensive strategies, in particular, are constantly used throughout a game: *when to lay down a bunt, how to best hit against an opposing pitcher, where to hit it with runners on base.* Strategies are all around the plate. **But do you have a mental strategy?** Do your players know how to *think* correctly while playing or know how to *coach themselves* while at the plate? #### **Here are three mental strategies every hitter can put into play today:** [Read More](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/softball-hitters-mindset) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/softball-hitters-mindset#comments-listing) Topics: [softball players](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/topic/softball-players), [high school softball](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/topic/high-school-softball), [college softball practice](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/topic/college-softball-practice), [high school softball practice](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/topic/high-school-softball-practice), [Softball Hitting](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/topic/softball-hitting), [Softball Power Hitting](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/topic/softball-power-hitting), [Softball Hitting Drills](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/topic/softball-hitting-drills) ## [3 Keys High School Softball Players Need for College Softball Success](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/preparation-for-college-softball) Posted by [Kelly Elms](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/author/kelly-elms) on Apr 11, 2019, 2:00:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.fungoman.com/hubfs/competition.jpg)](http://info.fungoman.com/softball-blog/preparation-for-college-softball) Young athletes should dream big dreams. They should foresee themselves playing in a big time game or in front a large crowd. As the popularity of college softball continues to grow, young girls get the chance to envision themselves playing the game they love while getting a college degree. Those young, aspiring athletes should be asking themselves: ***What will it take to get there? What will be different once I get to the next level?*** There are hardly any rule changes that occur between high school softball and the collegiate game. However, if you ask any collegiate softball player, past or present, they will tell you **there is a vast difference between playing for a high school or club team versus playing in college.** As a player, coach, or parent of a high school softball player, let’s take notes of these differences in order to be fully equipped for the next level.
